I have been on vacation since June 22. Have been attempting to catch up on the postings at LectioDivina, but just can't "catch the spirit". I wandered onto your LiveJournal and appreciated your insights on several subjects.

My point with no development of supporting ideas: Anyone can be adequately provided for by a single parent. Everyone is best situated with good parents of both genders.

I am at the age and stage of life where I have questioned the fundamental issue of "why stay here"? The way of the world seems to be take care of yourself. I see so many other men of my age, education, background, etc., enjoying their lives - practicing serial monogamy, visisting their kids at specified intervals, just doling out a court ordered portion of their earnings and having everything else go their way.

But I have made the election that the sticky popsicle kisses and gymnastics recitals and coach-pitch baseball practices and father/daughter dance night are more preferable than having your own way, making plans with certainty and having a variety of choices. I hope it is the decision that is right for my crowd. Sometimes it seems there is little notice from them at this point in the journey.

Query: What sort of shop do you operate?

Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Bull-I've been thinking a lot about you lately. How are you? Everything ok? Hope this gets to you. I've missed you and your humour and compassion.

Send me a line if you can.
